New Update Give Me A Shock - Galaxy S3 Neo Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

There is a recent update firmware on sammobile for S3 Neo GT-I9301I for Netherlands region. And i am not from Netherlands so i download it and try to flash it through odin. On first attempt it failed without any notification or warning. I tried again and successfully flashed it. When mobile starts and i was looking for changes i saw a strange thing, there was only 1.27 GB used out of 11.47 GB. Yes it was and still it is. And all of you know that it should be around 5.50 GB to 6. GB.
Remember i did a clean installation. I wiped everything out from my mobile, there was no data on internal memory at all.
Guys what is this?

Anyone home?

Can you mirror this firmware in somewhere else? I really want to test.

Sorry i can't. But really i am still shocked. After 20 hours memory usage is just 2.35gb as i have some apps installed on my device now.

what does that means ?

I don't understand what you are saying. Why it should be a big thing? I always had it around that.

I didn't have that on any rom at all. Normally memory was around 5gb to 6gb used.

When you say 5~6gb used, are you excluding system memory? Or maybe some big files you have on the device?

Nop, no big files just system and some apps were covering it.

Well if you are counting system ofc there would be that much, since system alone is 4.31gb

But now it is is just 2.30 to 2.50gb.
How's this possible?
.
I am going to check this now. I am copying a data of 7gb capacity. Let's see if it's gonna copy in or not.

It's copied successfully. And still memory usage is 9.02gb.

See this. Main usag is around 1.50gb

Yes, you are right. Mine was just like 4 to 5 gb used by the system . I need this answer too. How is this possible?
i am from Pakistan. On first try i was failed to flash. But second time i was succeeded. I did a clean installation. There was nothing on mobile memory.

But i never achieved this before. I don't know about any other mobile because i never use any other s3 neo.

I am curious to know how technically the OTA work. Is the notification/file sent through the Carrier cell phone connection, data connection, wifi ?!?!?!?!
And speeking of OTA, i've not yet received my update notification.

Not sure if i am right but by the looks of your sig your N1 is unlocked/rooted. I do not believe you will get the OTA at all without updating it yourself. Think it has to do with you having a custom rom. Don't quote me on it but thats what i think. you can always just update to it yourself as well. Search the forum. There are alot of posts on how to do it and where to download the file. Remember i am only going off what info i see from your sig.
To also answer your question of how the OTA is given to you. You will get a notification of it and the option to download and install the file or wait and do it later. It is all done over a data connection.

Just one correction... the OTA update downloads automatically, and I'm guessing it's temporarily stored on an internal partition on the phone. When you see the notification, it's already downloaded and when you choose to install, the phone immediately reboots and installs the update.
OK, thanks for the info.
Yes I am already rooted and with a custom ROM so I really do not care about the update. I was just curious to see how the process works. You're saying that the OTA predownloads the file to your phone , but how, over the Cell phone carrier data channel ?!?!? And what if I do NOT have a data subscription ?

If you haven't disabled your data connection, then you'll probably be charged by your carrier.

You have a point !!! I surely have a data plan, although on edge (only att 3g frequency here ) . All I need know is my cyanogen OTI (over the internet) new ROM. ......
if you're rooted, you will get the notifcation, but it'll fail on the update.
There's already versions of the update for rooted phones on here, and probably custom roms including it anyway.

[OTA Captured] German Retail 4.4.4

OTA for German Retail version from 4.4.2 to 4.4.4 started to roll out finally.
Download:
http://d-h.st/gUF
The name of the file is Blur_Version.176.44.1.falcon_umts.Retail.en.DE.zip - as always - it is named after the firmware being updated not after the target one.
Were you on stock recovery but rooted when you got this OTA?
I got this Update today too.

You can always GET an OTA but you won´t be able to install it in some scenarios.
Your system partition has to be mostly untouched, but root and Xposed Framework won´t cause any problem. You can use stock or Philz Recovery.
Also got the update but the installation is failing due to unexpected changes to build.prop. I have removed xposed and anything else I can think of that may have changed the system partition but still no go.
Any ideas? Maybe someone could post their build.prop?
I'm also getting the update in The Netherlands. Bought my phone online amazon.de :laugh:

Well, I can, but can you tell me why are you asking?
I'm rooted and installed the stock recovery then tried doing the Ota (I'm on stock rom if it matters) and it gives an error, just "error" no more information during the installation process.
Anybody can help?

Yes, you have the right version of firmware for this OTA, don´t know why it´s failing for you, there´s too much variables, it´s hard to tell.
As to where the file I posted comes from - it´s right from my phone. Until today morning I was on French 4.4.4, then I flashed the German 4.4.2 firmware to look if I could catch the OTA and it really came, I pulled it from my /cache and posted here. Check out the MD5 sum: d289331e52d0f79d2bcc4b9b390ff338

Apparently the update rolls out depending on that 4 numbers, i think it started from something like 3550 and mine is 3593 so i wanted to see if it is close to my number if you get what i mean.

Why so sceptical? Apart from a different dialer GUI, there´s not much difference you can really feel on 4.4.4, basically there are just some bug fixes.

Perhaps you need to uninstall and remove the modules and the xposed from the system before updating. Xposed and the modules add / modify system files and other sources in the device. Make sure you unroot as the last step as well. Stock recovery is required to install the OTA successfully

Good news. Unfortunately here I'm still waiting for one update. My N5 have a lot of problems and I need to reboot all the time.

I tried several Fw till now but I found this the best available till now: great battery, better reception, no lags.
Is RAM management better? No unlock screen lag which happens sometimes? Do I need to wipe or I can update via Odin?

Issues with nexus 6p and optus (australia)

Hi
Got a Nexus 6p from google. I have flashed Purenexus and ElementX kernel onto it.
Work well except, I am on optus and in some areas ( Central Station, Burwood station, some places around CBD), I loose connectivity.
So typically I lose data access - so games stop etc etc. I have data show up when its Rx/Tx. so I can see. still says I have 5 bars but no data
Usually the only way to fix this is to goto airplane mode and then come back out.
This is a real pain. I don't remember having this problem on telstra.
So I thought maybe I don't have the right modem firmware (what am i supposed to call it ?).
How can I check what version i have
And can any one recommend a newer / better / latest one that should work with optus ???

Problem with B130 1GB ram, Quad core, 4Gb internal storage.

Hi, I bought a GR5 KII-L22 from a person who installed the B310 with Emui 4.0 but the phone lost the signal and showed onky 1 imei (different from both of the box) so I installed The B130 and got working signal and dual sim even itshows 1 imei only, the thing is also showing 1GB Ram, resolution 540*960 and 4GB of internal storage, I can not find a method for the bootloader unlocking and lost 4.75$ on dc unlocker but I put the wrong imei to get the firmware key (it doesnt show the read bootloader unlock code)
ay fix for my issue?
Ye its kind off ****ed, ita fixable tho dont use DC unlocker lol. Open Sim card tray the Right Imei should be there from that Point u can unlock the bootloader. What u also can do is apply Stock firmware through ota so ur on B130/140 again.
Arobase40 said:
This is typical after a downgrade from Marshmallowt the model and sub-model of your phone and apply again the full B130 or B140 firmware using the local update or the Power On + Volumes buttons.
This should clean up everything and you should retrieve the correct specs.

all the firmwares I have downloaded had no issue to install, the isssues are if I install a 5.1 firmware it shows 1Gb ram, 4GB internal storage and 4 core processor, if I install a MM firmware it does not read sim cards. I tried that you just posted posted too.
Im not sure hoe you install B130/B 140 Lollipop firmware then.. aslong as you do it through local update it works..
